MultiTankCard is a Dutch provider of fuel cards and mobility services for business drivers. With the rise of electric driving, MultiTankCard saw the opportunity to expand its services into EV charging. However, the EV ecosystem is complex: charging networks, payment systems, location owners and end users all need to work together seamlessly. To realise that ambition, MultiTankCard needed a reliable, scalable platform that connects all these parties, both technically and organisationally.

The Challenge
The challenge turned out to be bigger than expected. The EV ecosystem consists of multiple parties: charging networks, payment systems, location owners and end users, all of whom need to work together. Bringing all these parties together, both technically and organisationally, was at the heart of the assignment.
Our Approach
Product League helped translate the initial concept into a working platform and played a central role in bringing together the various parties within the EV ecosystem. Together we worked on:
- Integrations with charging networks, payments and external partners
- Compatibility with existing chargers, without hardware changes
- Further development of the 'Travolta' platform, bringing charging and promotions together
- A back-office for location owners with insight into users, charging behaviour and promotions
- A complete end-user experience: from finding a charging point and starting a session to paying and receiving rewards
An important part of the project was UX work on location. To test the app in its real context, we organised testing sessions at Loogman, a petrol station where the first chargers were installed. Those sessions made one thing clear: operating a charger is not a banking experience. Users have their phone, car keys and charging cable in their hands at the same time, sometimes in the rain, surrounded by moving traffic. The app needed to be simpler than simple. Those insights directly shaped the further design.
The Solution & Impact
Travolta is more than an app. It's a complete platform where charging, loyalty and promotions come together. For location owners, that means actively steering charging behaviour and promotions. For end users, a complete experience from start to finish.
- From idea to a working, scalable platform in production
- Ready to deploy through integration with existing infrastructure
- More insight and control for location owners
- Better user experience with clear costs and rewards
- Strong foundation for further growth within the EV ecosystem
“You only discover on location what a user truly needs. Those insights made the difference, for the user and for the business.”
